Grab a killer deal on guitars, amps and pedals with up to 60% off at Musician's Friend this Independence Day

Fire up the grill and light the fireworks, the 4th of July sales have started landing, and this year they are looking especially good. Of course, Independence Day has long been a great time to pick up a fantastic deal on everything from household goods to tech, but there's plenty out there for the musos, too. The aptly named Musician's Friend has started the ball rolling early, offering up to 60% off a massive range of musical equipment, covering everything from electric guitars and amplifiers to acoustic guitars and accessories.
As you'd expect, this sale has hearty discounts on popular products from the biggest brands, with literally something here for everyone. For example, you can take home one of the world's most popular signature models for less, with a whopping $600 slashed off the price of the stunning Ernie Ball Music Man St. Vincent Goldie.
Perhaps you are looking for a guitar that strikes a balance between drop-dead gorgeous looks and sonic versatility? Well, in that case, look no further than the Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre in Honey Suckle, which is down to only $2,799 - that's a saving of $700!
